.SH NAME
XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC, Xutf8ResetIC \- reset the state of an input context
.SH SYNTAX
.HP
char *XmbResetIC\^(\^XIC \fIic\fP\^); 
.HP
wchar_t *XwcResetIC\^(\^XIC \fIic\fP\^); 
.HP
char *Xutf8ResetIC\^(\^XIC \fIic\fP\^); 
.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIic\fP 1i
Specifies the input context.
.SH DESCRIPTION
When
.ZN XNResetState
is set to
.ZN XIMInitialState ,
.ZN XmbResetIC ,
.ZN XwcResetIC
and
.ZN Xutf8ResetIC
reset an input context to its initial state;
when
.ZN XNResetState
is set to
.ZN XIMPreserveState ,
the current input context state is preserved.
In both cases, any input pending on that context is deleted.
The input method is required to clear the preedit area, if any,
and update the status accordingly.
Calling 
.ZN XmbResetIC ,
.ZN XwcResetIC
or
.ZN Xutf8ResetIC
does not change the focus.
.LP
The return value of
.ZN XmbResetIC
is its current preedit string as a multibyte string.
The return value of
.ZN XwcResetIC
is its current preedit string as a wide character string.
The return value of
.ZN Xutf8ResetIC
is its current preedit string as an UTF-8 string.
If there is any preedit text drawn or visible to the user,
then these procedures must return a non-NULL string.
If there is no visible preedit text, 
then it is input method implementation-dependent 
whether these procedures return a non-NULL string or NULL.
.LP
The client should free the returned string by calling
.ZN XFree .
.LP
The function
.ZN Xutf8ResetIC
is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2
release. Its presence is
indicated by the macro
.ZN X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING .
